What is Your Heart’s Prayer?
Yesterday I received this quote from Robert Holden and it moved me so much I want to share it and explore it with you.
“There is a prayer that lives in the center of your heart. If you pray it, it will change your life. How does it begin?”
My prayer is “I love you. Thank You.”
The theme of love in all its many nuances has been at the centre of my life’s journey. I was not surprised when I found through a hand analysis that my life school is love. I came here to major in love and that’s what I’ve done.
I finally realized a couple of years ago that the only love that really matters is self love. I do see self love as a prayer of gratitude. I believe God created all of us and to turn up our noses at the beauty of God’s creation is really blasphemy.
However, our egos teach us we have to do something to deserve love. The ego also tricks us and has us believe that we could lose love based on our behaviours or our appearance or whether we are ‘good’ enough.
So my prayer “I love you. Thank You”, did change my life. It led me to listen to my heart and to help others do the same. It’s my mantra when I make a mistake or doubt myself. I use it when I notice myself judging others or making them wrong. It takes me back to my heart and to the feeling of love for whatever is happening.
Thank you is also for everything. Everything is always perfect even when our ego minds want us to believe it’s a problem, large or small. My trust in love and appreciation makes me kinder to myself and everyone else. It frees me to be unattached to outcomes and keeps me in a state of peace that is beyond anything I’ve ever experienced.
I find my coaching clients resonate with this prayer and I believe that’s why they come to me for coaching. They recognize the Truth even when they haven’t heard it before. Those clients who don’t resonate with this prayer leave for another coach and that is perfect too, for the prayer is mine and those who share it with me. Others will have a different prayer, equally valid for them.
The crucial thing is to listen to your own prayer and let it guide and change your life. Live by it. Share it with others. I think the prayer is another guidepost to who we are and how we can best serve others.
What is your prayer?
I would love to hear from you if this prompted you to discover your prayer or reconnect with one you’ve known.
I’ll post this on my blog where we could have a discussion about our prayers. Here’s the site http://heartpowercoaching.blogspot.com/
You may recognize that my prayer is one half of the four prayers in Ho'oponopono, a Huna clearing tool. For more on Ho'oponopono go to http://www.zerolimits.com.
I am grateful for all you faithful readers and to the newer members of my newsletter list. For those of you in the US celebrating Thanksgiving, enjoy all your family and friends and the wonderful special meals you share.
To your heart health,
Rosemary

We had a great show last week with Jules Johnson interviewing Linda Miller, Dave Loevner and me on her Law of Attraction Talk Radio show. Here's the show.

Expect This by Dr. Joe Vitale
My latest book hit the streets today
and is already on three bestseller aublists
and quickly sprinting up the Amazon main list
as I type this to you.
It's called "Expect Miracles."
It's my most recent book (and my last one,
most likely).
It explains that your mindset will determine
what you get:
- expect things to go wrong and you'll attract it;
- expect things to go right and you'll attract that.
In short, you get what you expect.
Don't believe me?
Then you will find evidence to prove me wrong.
Why?
Because that's how your mind works.
You say you *do* believe me?
Then you'll find evidence to prove me right.
Again, you get what you expect.
That's what I explain in my latest book.
Also, "Expect Miracles" reveals why guru
advice doesn't always work.
It also explains what *does* work, so you can
have, do, or be what you can joyfully imagine.
In this must-read book, you'll learn...
- How to use a five-step system for attracting
any kind of miracle
- Why you need to avoid fear if you want to
attract miracles
- How to eliminate counter-intentions that will
block you from achieving goals
- The exact method for getting clear about
what you want
- How to forgive anyone for anything and
get on with your life
- How your mind works (it may surprise you)
- Ways to go from indecision to focused intention
- The importance of gratitude for what you
already have and how it plays into what you
will attract in your life
You'll also get story after story about other
people who've attracted miracles in their lives.
It's a quick read, inspiring, practical, and
designed to get to the point with the most
useful information.
It's also a perfect gift for family, friends,
schools, churches, or any one or any group
you care about.
Again, this is my latest book.
Probably my last.
It's also the only book of mine to have my
photo on the front cover. See --
http://snipurl.com/expectmiracles
I'd love for the book to go further up the Amazon
bestseller list and get noted in the top ten.
Would you help?
But this isn't one of those overwhelming
campaigns where I offer you $19,000 in
bonuses (bonuses most people never
get around to looking at, anyway) when
you go get the book today at Amazon.
Instead, what I'm asking you to do is
get my book, "Expect Miracles," at
Amazon today.
The book goes for $10.85 there.
That's it.
By itself, it's worth much more.
It may even become a collectible.
Why not go get it right now at --
http://snipurl.com/expectmiracles
or http://www.amazon.com
and --
Expect Miracles.
Love,
joe :)
PS -- Again, go get "Expect Miracles" at
http://snipurl.com/expectmiracles
or http://www.amazon.com . Be sure to
get copies for family and friends, too.
After all, the holidays are coming up fast. :)
Note: Please forward this to family, friends,
peers, and coworkers; please post it on your
blog and in any way you can think of share this
news with others. Let's get the world to begin
to "Expect Miracles." Thank you.

Heart Wisdom
I don’t ever remember hearing so many people talk about heart wisdom or the power of our hearts until recently. This is probably an example of how we become acutely aware of something when it is important to us. It’s just like when you buy a new car and then see it everywhere when you’re driving.
Last weekend I went to go to a book signing and talk by Dr. Joe Vitale in Toronto. I was thrilled when I saw Joe’s posting on his blog because I was going to be in Toronto that same weekend and at a workshop in a nearby hotel. It was effortless to go and hear him speak.
On the same bill was a woman I had not heard of before, Dr. Lise Janelle, talking about her new book Conversation with the Heart. When I read the outline I felt like the night was designed perfectly for my interests; both of my passions, the heart and advanced Law of Attraction principles.
Lise and Joe were a wonderful combination and I am thoroughly enjoying reading Conversation with the Heart. It has both information about the wisdom of our hearts and the value in listening to the hearts along with practical exercises to get in touch with that wisdom. Joe was speaking about his new book, Expect Miracles and I enjoyed reading that this week.
It was amazing to see how closely Joe and Lise answered the questions from the audience. Although they come from different backgrounds, their answers were completely in line with each other. Not surprising when you think that we attract what we desire by being in the same vibration as the desire. If our hearts are prompting us, then the desire is in alignment with the heart itself.
I know I am much happier and more fulfilled since I began to listen to the wisdom in my own heart. I am grateful every day that I chose to act on my heart’s urging and retire from teaching. It was perfect timing and it’s giving me the opportunity to apply everything I’ve been teaching for the last several years so I stay in a high vibration and at peace during these turbulent economic times. My ego has kicked up a fuss about how I will manage financially, but my heart knows and expects to not only survive but thrive.
On the 30th of October at 9:00 pm eastern, Sonia Choquette, another of my favourite teachers, is doing a workshop with Scott Martineau of Conscious One. It’s called Can You Hear Your Quieter Voices? Here are a few lines from the promotion for the call.
“In order to lead a happy, fulfilled, abundant life one has to be able to hear the quieter voices. To be still and hear them requires some skill. To know what questions to ask requires some knowledge. To know how to create your heart’s desire and live it daily requires wisdom and an action plan.
Sonia Choquette is an expert at leading a life listening to her quieter voices. She’s an author of more than 13 books- her latest one was a New York Times Best Seller and she’s the creator of her own Heart’s Desire Coaching Program.
Don’t let the loud distractions of today’s life stop you from creating your heart’s desire in your life right now. Now is the time to get more grounded in your own voices and leave the distractions to others. Sonia will show you how on this special live call - learn more here: http://tinyurl.com/5etmzl.”
I’m certainly going to be on the call and I appreciate how I am attracting all this support to do what I feel is my life’s work.
I have a couple more spots remaining in my offer to read your hands for only $49.00. The regular price is $149.00, so this is a great offer for a limited number of people.
It was learning my life purpose that gave me the inspiration to leave the security of my job and do what my heart had been calling me to do. Some of the benefits of a Hand Analysis include:
1. discovering your true life purpose
2. understanding why you struggle with one or more areas of life by uncovering your life lesson
3. getting clear direction of what you should do to ease or stop your struggle
4. learning more about the gifts you have and how to use those both for yourself and to help others
5. discovering your niche market for your services
Watch for next week’s announcement of a f*ree teleclass series on Maintaining Peace in Turbulent Times. People have been asking me to share a variety of tips to tune out the fearful voices and stay calm and peaceful. I have ten tips already and am excited to share them with others and help people at this time.
May your heart be blessed.

Cultivating Peace in Times of Scarcity
Cultivating Peace in Times of Scarcity
I recently read that scarcity is one of three basic human triggers. Want to know the other two? Curiosity and controversy!
Reading that inspired me to write about how to handle your fear of you find its being generated by all the hype about credit scarcity for mortgages. How do you keep a sense of calm when you read that you will lose your home despite your ability to make your mortgage payments?
Here’s what I do. I discipline my mind to focus on my intended outcomes rather than my fears. I use an affirmation such as, “I easily and joyfully attract the ideal mortgage vendor for my successful renewal.”
I recently listened to a call by Bruce Cryer of the HeartMath organization. He described the effects of stress on our bodies and the easy to practice congruence routine.
Did you know that there are 1400 biochemical changes in your body as a result of stressful emotions? Yes, you read that correctly - 1400! When you have stressful emotions, your mind becomes clouded and you make more mistakes. Your body is clumsy and you can easily fall and injure yourself.
When you have positive emotions, you also have biochemical changes; however these are energizing and beneficial. HeartMath sells a product called the EmWave that tracks your heart rate. I watched Bruce’s heart rate pattern change as he imagined a stressful situation and then level out into calmness and a smooth rhythm just by his doing a simple process that took only a couple of minutes.
Here are the basic steps of the HeartMath technique as I remember them from the call.
1. Put your attention on the area around your heart.
2. Breathe into this area and feel the warmth. Breathe in and out as though through your heart.
3. Remember a person or a situation that brings you joy and feel appreciation. Spend some time continuing this process. In a short time your heart rate will be smooth and rhythmic and your body will experience positive biochemical changes.
As The Heart Activist, I am committed to living with an open heart and helping others to do the same. When I am contracted with fear, I don’t feel open-hearted. I want to close down and protect myself. I expect you are the same.
Does worrying about scarcity help stave it off? No way! It just allows those 1400 biochemical changes to go coursing through your body. When you place your trust in the power of your heart to create the life you desire, you take positive action.
Next time you watch the news or read the paper or listen to someone proclaiming doom and gloom remember to focus on your heart, breathe through it and feel grateful about someone or thing you love.
The Law of Attraction tells us we will get what we put our attention on and feel strong emotions about, whether positive or negative. Use this technique to keep your attention on what you desire and your vibration positive.
To your heart health,
Rosemary

Next time you watch the news or read the paper or listen to someone proclaiming doom and gloom remember to focus on your heart, breathe through it and feel grateful about someone or thing you love.
The Law of Attraction tells us we will get what we put our attention on and feel strong emotions about, whether positive or negative. Use this technique to keep your attention on what you desire and your vibration positive.
To your heart health,
Rosemary

Limiting Beliefs are Like Weeds
Limiting Beliefs are Like Weeds
The other day I noticed a large growth of weeds in one of my gardens. I hadn’t noticed them in previous years but now they spoil the look of the garden and they are in the way of the new plants. As I was weeding, it occurred to me that the weeds are similar to limiting beliefs. They may have been around for many years and perhaps they didn’t interfere with us, but when we are ready for a different goal the belief is in the way of success and has to be removed.
Some of the weeds came out easily with the bulb sitting near the surface of the ground. Others were down so deep the tool I was using didn’t budge the bulb out. Just as some limiting beliefs are easy to let go of when we are ready and others are far more difficult to release. If we catch them early on, they uproot easily whereas the ones that we’ve held for many years have deep roots and take more effort to release.
I wasn’t satisfied just getting the blade because I knew if I didn’t get the whole root the weed would just grow again. I would pull and get some out and then have to go back and dig under a little and pull again to get the rest. I’ve had this experience with beliefs too. I think I’ve gotten rid of it and then later find it coming up to bother me again.
In some places the weed looked so close to the plant nearby I wasn’t sure it was a weed. Isn’t that just like some beliefs – they appear to be good information, the real thing, only upon close examination are they revealed to be damaging or fake.
After I had been working for a while, I started to question whether I should bother digging out the weeds no one else can see? Hidden behind a healthy plant, was it worth the trouble to dig them out? Yes, it was because in time they would have taken over and killed the healthy plant. I would know they were there and it’s my garden. Don’t I want it to look as beautiful as it can for me, or are the neighbours more important?
Limiting beliefs left hidden will eventually overtake healthy ones and kill them off. Experience tells me that trying to keep something hidden take a tremendous amount of energy away and causes me far more trouble than the time it would take to clean it up. Whether anyone else knows I have them is irrelevant. I know and it’s me they’ll hurt in the end.
Looking at the whole garden, these weeds are only a small part of the overall beautiful picture, but when I looked at the garden they were where I put my attention, rather than on the pretty flowers. And isn’t that the way of limiting beliefs? They’re a small part of who we are and yet they command the greatest amount of our attention.
